I have a number of sources hooked up including an ipod through the nv-ripd, dvd player and a nuvo tuner nv-t2sir.. getting the same problem with all of them, ive just used the keypads to set the system up, and no i havent installed the configurator software or...

When plugging in speakers directly to the nuvo grand concerto or the expander (in any and all zones, while all zones are playing in party mode) im not receiving any sound from the speakers. When i plug the same euro connector attached to the speakers into the amplifier thats hooked up to any of...

Anyone have a list of the IP cameras that work with HAI? I remember reading somewhere that not all IP cameras work.. Thanks. Reilly

i was thinking i would run any and all of my video inputs audio through my whole home sound system, in case i wanted to say have music videos playing on all the tvs in my house with the audio playing in all rooms that dont have tvs.. but my question is, would i still be able to setup 7.1...

Hello, anyone have experience with both of these? ive been trying to find information to compare these two but havent been having much luck, i really like the fact that HAI have the RIM units, but i do like the Nuvo keypads. Id like to hear from someone that has had direct contact and experience...

Hey guys, im really interested in hearing from everyone a head to toe description of their home automation, what hardware are you using, what does each hardware piece do, what remotes you use, how is everything connected, how does it work? is there delays? is there things you would do...

OK, so as ive been researching and researching, ive now pretyt much come up with what i want to use for my whole home audio system, but i need a suggestion for an amplifier.. so what ive decided right now, 12 audio zones, Nuvo Grand Concerto running all 12, but 2 zones are unamplified, on these...

a few quick questions.. how does UPB actually work? do you need seperate light switches for each light that are upb compliant? and do you just plug in something to a plug and that plugs into your pc and then you use software to learn/setup your automation? im currently looking at HAI and...

so with sage i can have all my movies on my pc that has sagtv installed on it, and i can watch one on one tv, and watch two others on different tvs at the same time? also can i switch watching something from one tv to another tv with this setup?

can you give me more info on the extenders for windows7 mce? do they have their own interfce or do they clone the windows mce interface?

so does each extender have its own gui? and it pulls media off the pc then? or am i misunderstanding? can you link me one, i did a search for ms extender but only came up with software you would run on your xbox as a game to play media from your media centre pc. Reilly

hmm ok i will look into this, yes i definately want to be able to setup remotes on iphone/android phones. can you point me to any youtube videos of examples of what you are talking about? i think you are on the right track as to what i want to do with this post, do you have any idea what id be...

ok thanks for the heads up on the neutrals and the extra deep boxes. I hadnt thought about extra motion sensors, but i can see why that would be handy. I plan to wire pretty much every room in the house for audio, thats for sure. As for A/V, yeah i had looked at windows Media Center (which i...

RadioRa2 is lutron isnt it? dont you need to have a licensed dealer do the install and everything for that? I had looked at them originally and talked to a licensed dealer in my area and the guy was talking $20-50K just for the freaking lights.

yeah i had originally been thinking about going with on-q alc with the cat5 to each switch, but then thought UPB sounded like a better option.. im still really not sure and thats i guess why im posting, to try and figure out what the best way to go is.. i dont mind running extra cable, i guess...
